Clicks QWERTY keyboard iPhone case brings back the joy of typing

Posted on by

Remember the days when you could swiftly type a long response on your phone in just seconds? Even if you didn’t own a BlackBerry, our amazing human brains managed to evolve to adapt to the esoteric T9 input, resulting in a flurry of thumbs hammering out text at mind-blowing speeds. Just like with pen and paper, there are benefits to having physical keys to type with, including muscle memory, accuracy, and sheer satisfaction. Those are the joys that this new case is trying to bring to the iPhone by snapping on a full yet tiny QWERTY keyboard that gives creators the power to turn text into stories, quickly and accurately.

Designers: Michael Fisher and Kevin Michaluk

Although the BlackBerry is now a footnote in history, there was a time when it was the de facto standard of productivity. It’s a bit ironic that its most iconic feature is all but a memory today when text is even more critical in mobile life. From notes to todos to captions to messages, we type plenty of text on our touchscreen smartphones, which painfully drives home the fact that these smooth, flat surfaces have terrible ergonomics and haptics for such an activity. There have been a few attempts at resurrecting the BlackBerry or at least bringing the physical QWERTY keyboard to smartphones, but Clicks is trying to differentiate itself by projecting a fun and creative character that’s more in line with today’s creators.

For one, the cases distance themselves from the drab and serious styles of business-minded BlackBerry clones by embracing colors and curves, whether it’s the yellow Bumblebee or even the gray London Sky. Perhaps to avoid any litigation like its forebears, Clicks adopts circular keys with some spacing in between, giving the keyboard a more whimsical appearance. Regardless of the design, the Clicks QWERTY case has the same mission as all other QWERTY cases before it, bringing a familiar sensation to upgrade the typing experience. Best of all, the keyboard no longer eats up half your screen, leaving room for more content.

Using the case itself is as simple as pie. You slide the iPhone in from the top, carefully align the Lightning or USB-C connector, and snap the top on. The case doesn’t have a battery of its own, which makes it lighter and cheaper, so it draws power from the iPhone itself. It does support pass-through charging so you don’t have to remove the case just to charge the iPhone. The one drawback of its simple design is that MagSafe accessories won’t stick to it, but you can still enjoy wireless charging on a flat horizontal surface.

The Clicks QWERTY keyboard case is compatible only with the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models, though their availability won’t happen all at the same time. The $139 price tag is going to be debatable, especially for those who aren’t yet convinced of the advantages of having a physical keyboard at the cost of making a tall phone even taller. But for creators who find themselves always pecking at their phone’s screen, this quirky accessory is a done deal.

This iPhone 14 Magsafe wireless charger employs bionic sweat cooling to guard against temperature induced damage

Posted on by

Apple’s Magsafe technology has brought to the fore useful functionality to the iPhone line-up for a competitive edge over the likes of Samsung. The freedom and flexibility Magsafe accessories bring to the ecosystem are truly undeniable.

Gaming is something the new generation iPhone 14 line-up is able to handle without any problem. Thanks to the A15 and A16 chipset onboard. But all the graphics-intensive gaming for extended durations is bound to heat up the device. The solution is a smart Magsafe-compatible cooling accessory capable of doing other things too.

Designer: STAR H

Christened “Ice Speed Freezemat Magsafe Wireless Charger” this proposed Apple accessory uses a very interesting method to dissipate heat, keeping the innards at optimum temperature while gaming or during fast charging rituals. The Magsafe compatible accessory for iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 devices attaches to the back like any other Magsafe accessory. It has an MFM-certified module rated at 15W charging speed, but I hope it has better charging speed versions, if and when, it eventually hits the market.

Crafted out of aviation-grade cooling material, Ice Speed Freezemat has an interesting cooling mechanism inspired by the way the human body sweats to dissipate heat. Unlike other similar accessories on the market that makes use of fans drawing power from the source, this one has a greener, low-noise cooling material mode. The self-absorbent hydrogel forms an energy-free cycle of heat dissipation far better than electrical cooling. As the iPhone 14 gets heated, the water content in the hydrogel is evaporated, then heat dissipation happens, and ultimately the water is again absorbed by the layer.

For times when you are gaming, the wireless charger constantly juices up the iPhone while keeping it cool. Even after an hour of gaming, the Apple device won’t show any signs of heating up. The accessory can be kept in a flat laid-down position or the convenient standing position too for watching multimedia content. In the laid down configuration, it can charge other Apple accessories like the AirPods Pro or Apple Watch.

iPhone 14 is the most repairable since iPhone 7 – teardown reveals impressive details

Posted on by

Samsung hasn’t changed its smartphone design architecture since 2015, and Apple its one major competitor has broken the jinx by designing the iPhone 14 from the inside out as one of the biggest updates in half a decade. At the announcement event, Apple did hint about iPhone 14’s repairability ease but nothing like they could have, and that’s a surprise. They should have made it their pivotal agenda alongside the Dynamic Island interface exploits to gain more traction.

Just like it is with iFixit, now’s the time for Apple’s new cherry to get the undressing treatment to reveal fresh new details. Earlier in the year, Apple launched the Self Service Repair Program for the iPhone SE, 12 and 13 models. The initiative has genuine Apple parts and tools for DIY’ers who want to shred apart their Apple devices. Now, with the iPhone 14, Apple has made things a whole lot easier.

Designer: iFixit with Apple

The inside of the iPhone has been revamped as compared to the predecessor just to make it ultra-easy for repair tasks. The removable back and front glass are something to behold, as Apple has mounted all the internals on a new midframe. That means you’ll not have to shell out tons of money if you break the glass. Earlier it was $500 upwards but with this redesign the number will drastically reduce to $169 – $199 for a cracked screen iPhone 14 or 14 plus models.

According to iFixit, Apple has refreshed its approach to the design with just one thing in mind – to make it easier for repairs if something goes south. The adhesive on the back is less aggressive and a couple of screws open up the access to the front as well as back. The teardown also reveals the amount of space on the inside to fit the plethora of antennas, camera sensors and Qualcomm X65 modem. Overall, the smartphone scores an impressive 7 out of 10 repairability score which is a rarity for an Apple device.

iFixit is also working on the iPhone 14 Pro Max teardown and I’m excited to know what’s under the hood of that big boy. One thing is for sure, it’ll have nearly about the same repairability score!

The iPhone 14 and 14 Pro quite literally reach for the stars… Here’s why Android phone-makers should be worried

Posted on by

If there’s one takeaway from this year’s keynote, it’s that Apple wants to make all its devices more useful in practical scenarios. With crash detection, and the unique ability to connect to satellites for SOS calls, the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro are quite literally must-haves.

It’s a simple yet BRILLIANT idea. How do you get people who’ve just spent money on an iPhone 13 to switch over to the latest model? Surely a better camera isn’t a compelling enough reason to spend $999 on a new phone… but, if Tim Cook were to say that the new iPhone can literally save your life, that becomes a stronger reason to make a switch. Moreover, it now leaves Google, Samsung, and the like scrambling, because, for the past decade, the camera seems to have been the single most important piece of hardware and software on a phone. The new iPhone 14 and 14 Pro series aren’t just good iPhones with great cameras, they’re also now the potential difference between an emergency and safety.

Before really talking about the fluff that makes the phone attractive to consumers for daily use, let’s highlight the two features that absolutely change how people perceive iPhones. Debuting both on the iPhone 14 and the Watch Series 8 at exactly the same time, the Cras Detection feature is a culmination of millions of studies on how Apple’s hardware can help detect car crashes and alert emergency services in an instant. The company had perfected fall-detection over the last few years, but ‘Crash Detection’ is an absolutely different ball game. The phone uses a high g-force accelerometer, gyroscope, sensors, microphone inputs, machine learning algorithms, and data from the Watch Series 8 (if the victim is wearing one) to detect multiple types of car crashes, including impacts on the front, side, rear, or eve barrel-rolls across different car types from smaller smart cars to large SUVs. This allows the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro to know exactly when you’ve been in a crash, notifying the authorities and emergency services in an instant. Sure, Android phones have touted car-crash-detection features in the recent past, but the iPhone 14 goes above and beyond with its next feature.

Before last year’s keynote, there was speculation that the iPhone would be getting Low Earth Orbit satellite connectivity, and with the 14 and 14 Pro, it seems like Apple’s ready to roll the feature out – well, at least initially to customers in USA and Canada. The way the phone works is pure hardware ingenuity. Unlike satellite phones that are bulky and come with a massive antenna to help you get cell coverage in areas with no infrastructure or access, the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro simply redesigned their hardware and their antennas to help the phone connect to satellites in different intuitive ways. The phone’s new interface lets you connect to a satellite simply by pointing your phone at it. The interface allows you to detect the direction of the satellite, although the caveat is that you need to be outdoors and preferably in the open with no obstacles like trees or foliage blocking the connection. Once connected, you can send texts (which are now compressed to a third of their original space for faster transmission), your location, and even make voice calls. The iPhone’s new SOS UI also allows you to pre-select the nature of your emergency and your possible surroundings, to aide better search and rescue missions. Your $799 iPhone 14 can now potentially save you from being stranded and possibly being in severe danger.

Now onto the good stuff. The iPhone 14 and 14 Pro come in regular and large sizes with different nomenclatures, strangely. The larger 14 is called the 14 Plus, but the larger 14 Pro is called the 14 Pro Max. The iPhone 14 runs on the A15 Bionic chip (something we suspected, given the chip shortage), while the new iPhone 14 Pro sports the new A16 Bionic chip (with an entire part of the chip dedicated to just the interactions around the Dynamic Island). Surprisingly enough, Apple hasn’t caved in to the EU’s demands for a USB-C iPhone, and didn’t even address it in their keynote in a way that makes me think they’re taking a rather firm stance. Other features in the new phones is their always-on display, and the ability to save battery by decreasing brightness and dramatically reducing the screen’s refresh rate down to as little as 1 Hz for a battery that literally lasts an entire day.

The new phones have better cameras too, although that isn’t really a surprise. They work remarkably well in low-light conditions, with the iPhone 14 Pro sporting what Apple calls a quad-pixel sensor for much better performance. Like the Cinematic Mode from last year’s iPhones, this year Apple unveiled an Action Mode for their cameras, that provide incredibly stable videos that almost feel like they’ve been taken using expensive cinematic rigs. The iPhone 14 Pro also offers a 2X mode that works in a unique way by simply cropping a part of the 1X mode but preserving an incredible amount of detail, thanks to that quad-pixel sensor and the 48-megapixel main camera.

Everything we know about the upcoming Apple iPhone 14 keynote event on September 7th

Posted on by

Will the iPhone 14 still have the lightning port? What about the notch? Will it connect to satellites? Let’s look at all the credible rumors, days before Tim Cook steps on stage to give us the iPhone 14!

The iPhone launch this year around is a rather special one. In three full years (ever since the iPhone 11), it’s the first time Apple has invited fans, journalists, and experts back to the Steve Jobs Auditorium for a keynote event. A lot has happened in those three years too – Apple’s filed patents for solar connectivity, they’ve patented various folding displays, and speculators have even mentioned that 4 years in, the company is prepared to transition away from the notch. Moreover, we’re also dealing with EU legislation that will make USB-C mandatory for all phones sold in the region. So with just 40-something hours till the new iPhone drops, let’s do a quick recap on everything we know, everything we think we know, and everything we wish we knew more about!

4 new iPhone models, but with a twist

Perhaps the one thing we can say with a degree of certainty is that Apple won’t be launching more than 4 variants of their latest flagship model. In the past two years, Apple has unveiled two regular and two Pro variants of the iPhone, with the iPhone Mini being a surprisingly new experiment on the company’s part. Following what seems like lackluster sales, it’s rumored that Apple will kill their Mini project and stick to a regular and a Max size structure for both the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro. Moreover, this is the one rumor we’re all fairly confident about because Apple sends out dummy units to third parties to design cases for the new iPhone as soon as it drops. These mockups have leaked online, confirming the rumors, and sadly, the demise of the Mini.

Goodbye Notch, Hello Pill

Although this might be the most noticeable and awaited upgrade on the iPhone, it’s yet another example of Apple being one of the last few to jump on a trend. while Apple surely set the trend with the notched display, they held onto it for a staggering 4 years. As the world trudged through a pandemic with face masks becoming the de facto norm, Apple stuck firmly to their FaceID guns, offering not so much as even an in-screen fingerprint reader. The notch prevailed for nearly 1500 days, but it seems like Apple’s keen on looking forward.

The iPhone 14 Pro is rumored to switch to a ‘pill-shaped’ cutout that will house the camera, the receiver, indicator buttons for an active camera or microphone, and perhaps a sensor or two for FaceID, if Apple still plans on sticking to that technology. There hasn’t been any word on in-screen fingerprint readers yet, so it’ll be interesting to see what tech Apple unveils with the iPhone 14 Pro as far as security systems go. Sadly though, the new pill design won’t carry forward to the regular iPhone 14, which will still sport the infamous notch, according to many speculators and experts. The regular iPhone 14 will even continue to use the A15 Bionic chip (albeit with a few performance bumps), since even the world’s most valuable company can’t shake off the effects of a global chip shortage.

The cryptic starry Apple logo on the invitation

Apple is known to hide crucial clues in their invitation, playing along with the hype and rumor train just to keep people on edge. This year, the company revealed their invites featuring an Apple logo made out of stars. The internet was instantly divided into two parties – a group of people who believe this to be an announcement that the iPhone camera will now boast of an ‘astronomy mode’, while the others used this as confirmation of the fact that Apple would announce the iPhone’s ability to connect to Low Earth Orbit satellites for better connectivity. This particular rumor has me absolutely divided too, because I think an ‘Astronomy Mode’ is a cool feature, but the satellite connectivity may end up being much more practical as a solution. The satellite connectivity may affect the iPhone’s sales in different countries, however.

The iOS 16 lock screen is a BIG clue

With widgets coming to the lock screen, it was just a matter of time before people began digging around to find out why Apple decided to have a massive change of heart. The company isn’t known to make such odd changes to formats that work – it’s why menu widgets came to iOS and iPadOS home screens years after Android implemented it. The lock screen customization options, however, indicate a new ability in upcoming iPhones – an always-on display. Apple’s managed to successfully pull this off in their Watches, and it seems like that proof of concept is ready to be carried onto Apple’s most popular product ever. The smartphone screen is valuable real estate, and it seems like the Apple design team has only just begun embracing the fact. How an always-on screen would affect the phone’s battery, however, is something we’ll have to wait and watch out for.

Time to bid AdiEU to the Lightning Port?”

This might just be the most controversial rumor yet, because even though Apple’s been a long-time supporter of the USB-C protocol (the Mac, Mac Mini, iMac, MacBook, and iPad all have it), however Apple’s weird pearl-clutching with the lightning port on the iPhone has been absolutely baffling… and the EU isn’t having it. European Union lawmakers passed strict legislation that will force all smartphones sold in the region to adopt a single global standard, USB-C, which disproportionately affects Apple the most because every other smartphone launched in the past 2 years has already moved to USB-C. It isn’t entirely clear whether Apple plans on being bullish on the Lightning port, much to the chagrin of EU lawmakers, or whether Apple plans to cave to their demands. The EU accounts for a massive share of all iPhones sold globally (in 2021, Apple sold 241 million iPhones globally, of which about 56 million were sold in Europe), so Apple’s pride and profits are at absolute odds here. It’s unclear whether Apple plans on cutting the EU out of the iPhone 14 rollout or launching custom USB-C iPhones just in the EU, but either way, it isn’t looking pretty for the Cupertino giant. After all, isn’t Apple invested in saving the environment by allowing everyone to use existing cables across all devices??

A lot of these rumors need to be taken with a massive grain of salt. It’s easy to speculate based on rumors and patent leaks, but whether they’re going to be implemented in a certain year, or even at all, is something only Apple insiders know. However, we’ve got just 40 hours left for Tim Cook to step on stage and kill the suspense!

Mujjo is releasing these eco-friendly + luxurious iPhone 14 cases on the same day as the Apple event

Posted on by

On September 7th, 2022, there’s going to be an Apple event, and it’s a really exciting one since they’re launching the iPhone 14! We’re expecting to see a 6.1-inch iPhone 14, a 6.1-inch iPhone 14 Pro, a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 (Max or Plus), and a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Pro Max. And in anticipation of the much-awaited release, Mujjo has already created a collection of luxurious cases for the iPhone 14! The cases are supposed to be the company’s most eco-friendly ones to date. And guess what? They’re set to be released on September 7th as well!

Designer: Mujjo

The cases are created from Ecco Leather, which is now Gold Rated by the Leather Working Group. The beautiful vegetable-tanned leather is produced in the Netherlands and provides a durable finish that will develop a patina over time, making each individual case unique. The interior of the case is lined with the finest Japanese microfibre – which is slim, lightweight, and yet extremely strong. It has a stunning satin-like finish which gives the case a really elegant and luxurious feel.

Based on customer feedback over the years, quite a few updates were made to the design as well. A raised bump around the rear camera provides great protection to the protruding lenses. The base of the iPhone is covered and protected, without obstructing the speakers or the charging port. The leather subtly rises 1mm above the edge of the glass, creating a raised bezel, which ensures abrasive surfaces are kept away from the screen.

The leather cases also feature MagSafe and are compatible with all MagSafe accessories. The side buttons have also been redesigned to encourage increased responsiveness. The range of iPhone 14 cases will be compatible with the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Max, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. It will be available in three stunning color options – Tan, Black, and Monaco Blue. The Tan is a vivid caramel, that perfectly integrates both elegance and playfulness, while the Black makes a solid and powerful statement. The Monaco Blue is a riveting shade of blue with undertones of purple and green.

Mujjo’s range of sustainable and stylish cases has got us even more geared up for the launch of the iPhone 14 family! Oh, and did we mention, that you can add an optional wallet pocket that can hold up to 3 cards?!

This iPhone 14 ‘Ultra’ concept has a titanium body and no notch on the front

Posted on by

It also does away with the flat edges, for ‘ultra comfort’.

Meet the iPhone 14 Ultra – a phone that embodies the best of all of the iPhones’ attributes plus some more. Its design is a hark back to the iPhone 3G days, with a curved, comfortable-to-hold profile that feels a lot like the early iPhone. It bumps up the cameras on the back, providing a ‘more than Pro’ experience, sports a titanium frame and ceramic back for a lightweight-yet-durable design that can definitely take a couple of drops, and more impressively, does away with the notch entirely. In fact, this may just be the first and only iPhone 14 concept I’ve seen with an absolutely unblemished 100% display on the front. However, the cherry on the cake? This iPhone concept comes with the much-awaited USB-C port on its base.

Designer: Antonio De Rosa

For concept designer Antonio, the iPhone 14 Ultra represents everything he wants in the new iPhone as a consumer and an industrial designer. No flat edges, they’re uncomfortable. Instead, the iPhone 14 Ultra curves back gently, mirroring the contour on the first iPhone. The frame comes machined from titanium (no more Bendgate), while the back is the same ceramic found on the high-end Apple Watches. Finally, the Apple logo gets jazzed up with a radial-brushed metallic finish, giving it a hypnotic look. The 14 Ultra isn’t just good to hold – it’s also great to look at.

De Rosa’s choice of contouring the iPhone serves two purposes. Not only does it make the phone much more comfortable in your palm, it also allows the phone’s bezels to be marginally thicker, allowing the front-facing camera to fit right into them instead of within the infamous notch.

This unique layout might just be the first for any smartphone (although it may be easier if Apple uses its Periscope lens system). The upper bezel has the camera housing within it, with a camera bar long enough that it looks like the phone comes with FaceID too.

However, every iPhone conversation comes down to the one most important thing. Its cameras. The iPhone 14 Ultra has four primary cameras on the back, giving it immense range in both the photography and videography department. This new layout isn’t kind to the LiDAR sensor, which isn’t there on this camera bump, but the fourth lens makes up for it. The fourth lens, De Rosa says, is what makes the phone worthy of the Ultra title; almost validating the 4-lens camera setups on Samsung S22 Ultra and the newly launched Xiaomi 12S Ultra that made waves at the beginning of the month!

The iPhone 14 with a sliding display could be Apple’s answer to the folding iPhone

Posted on by




Apple has just launched the new iPhone 13 series, which has left many of us dumbstruck with the photographic capabilities and beautiful ProMotion displays on offer. While consumers are still headed for the four beauties in the lineup with open wallets, there is still a lingering question in the mind of fans whether the iPhone 14 will be the iconic design change we are all looking for. Taking the liberty to experiment with this design, ConceptsiPhone has created extreme renders of how the next-generation Apple phones should be.

The insane renders of the iPhone 14 with a sliding concept are far and above what Apple would likely have in mind at this point. The Cupertino company however has been toiling with the folding iPhone idea since 2016. The tech giant has been through a few patents since, but it has chosen to remain silent about the possibility of an iPhone to rival the Galaxy Fold and Flip series handsets from Samsung. Apple is weighing its options as other OEMs – Samsung included – fine-tune the wrinkles in the folding devices; and it prefers to stick to the more acceptable brick form factor.

The biggest upgrade to the iPhone, many would trust, will be a folding form factor, which will be a stark difference to its image, and give fanboys a little more to consider as they weigh their options. In such a scenario, a Nokia-style sliding keyboard would make more sense than a book-like folding phone. If you are from the same school of assumptions; this new concept with a second slider screen will be a definite yes.

The renders and video of the iPhone 14 slider concept shared by ConceptsiPhone show the iPhone 14 in new and beautiful colors and revives the Touch ID biometric system under the display. In addition to the sliding design, the idea of a notch-less iPhone is what fans have been longing for Apple to adopt. That didn’t stand to change in the iPhone 13 – where the notch has been slimed slightly though – but if Apple can do away with it in the coming models, this concept shows how the phone could appear.

What has really caught my eye with these renders is the throw-back design. Yes, the images do away with the new square-edged design that Apple achieved with the iPhone 12 and has transpired into the iPhone 13. The idea is lost in this concept, which feels the iPhone 14 should reflect back the design that was before the iPhone 12. While the sliding XDR display concept is a deal for some, it’s the triple camera on the back that we would definitely want Apple to take a leaf from. The camera array is extremely sleek, no camera bump to show. Apple has a slight camera bulge in iPhone 13, in iPhone 14 we would love to see that go flat along the phone’s back.

Apple still remains adamant with switching from lightning port to USB-C, which European Union at least is pushing to become a standard for all companies to follow. There were rumors initially that iPhone 13 could be a port-less device, relying on MagSafe charging completely. It hasn’t happened this year, and ConceptsiPhone assumes, it’s not going to be the case with iPhone 14 either; but the new device could arrive with Air charging as an option along with MagSafe, which we assume is going to stay for long!

This iPhone 14 design with a solo powerful rear camera could be Apple’s way of shaking up the smartphone industry

Posted on by



 

An Apple iPhone 14 proposed design that challenges the design iteration of the phone’s camera module.

Now that the powerful and sleek iPhone 13 series is out there to have, the focus for the tech community shifts to the next smartphone in development by Apple. The iPhone 14 is more than 10 months away from fruition and the speculations about how the device will look are already out in the cloud. The phone might take a detour in terms of design from the flattened sides to the contoured design, similar to the iPhone 7. That’s because Apple tends to adapt the old successful designs for the smartphone – take the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 as examples which adapted the famous iPhone 5 design.

How the next exciting iPhone will look is anybody’s guess, for now, to be frank, but industrial designer Laci Lacko believes it could be a radical leap with its roots tracing back to the iPhone 7 series. That similar rounded side design lending it a thin feel in hand. Surprisingly, the designer doesn’t give us a peek into the front of the device, but going by the rumor mill, it should have minimal (as compared to iPhone 13) or no notch at all. What’s highlighted in this concept phone is the rear camera module.

A big protruding single 35mm lens setup that has an f1.2 i aperture sensor promises the ultimate photography experience. Something comparable to a DSLR. The lens is so big, it almost feels like an add-on to the sleek body frame of the imagined iPhone. While I believe, this design will never make it past the drawing boards, still who’s stopping concept designers from challenging the future of very stagnated phone design philosophy. My only gripe from this design is the lack of front-on images of the phone .

Designer: Laci Lacko
